HardlnK waa Informed to-night by
Tins Hun and New Yoiiic Hriulo that
tho Republican National Commlttco'n
New York heiulquarterH hnd Issued a
ntatcmcnt saying Bonntor Harding
would npend nearly all tho last flvo
weeks of tho campaign In a speech
making tour of big cltlea, East nnd
West.
"Tho National Commltteo known
that I mn n willing worker," aald the
Senator. "I know the general scope
of tha programme) and It has my ap
proval. Homo of tho dotnlla have not
yet boon worked nut und uro subject
to change, posMbly expansion."
Tho announcement will cauee no eur
prise here, as Its purport was slated In a
despatch from this city yesterday. Tho
extraordinary success of Mr. Harding's
brief Minnesota tour settled onre and
for all the question of how he takes with
the people. It opened tho eyes of He
publican campaign managers to the
folly of burying such a vote-getter.
They admitted, as Ihey departed from
St. Paul that He'nator Harding was much
too good a man to be wasted In front
porch work that hn was n, big gamo
hunter, not n shooter of sparrows.
All Admit Trip's ISuoreM,
Another cause for the change of pro
gramme was the uniformity of Judgment
passed by the nowspnpera that had more
nr less direct, accurate means or ap
praising Mr. Harding's first contact with
peonlo in tno mass unu in lime groups,
his first, that Is, na a Presidential
nominee. The tour was pronounced suc
cessful not merely by Republican oh
servers, who might bo supposed to look
through rose oolored glasses, but by
neutrals and by Democratic lookers-on.
There was In fact, not a dissenting
opinion as to tho splendid welcome
Harding received In St. Paul nnd Min
neapolis and ns to tho agreeable nnd
effective response ho mado whenever
called upon. The man loomed big onco
they permitted him to take to the road.
Naturally, nB Tub Sun ami Nbw
York Herald anticipated In Its news
despatch of yesterday, tho campaign
programme has been changed to fit this
new nnd satisfactory condition. Tho
p'ans of tho Republican National Com
mltteo embrace for the present a dosen
tpeeches In a dosen largo cities, among
them New York, about October 23 ; Bal
timore, Boston, Indlannpolls, Louisville,
Nashville, St. Louis, Kansas City,
Omaha and Oklahoma City. The plan
contemplates a final visit to Cleveland,
where Harding will end the campaign.
Choline In Programme) Likely.
Now, tho chances aro that even this
expanded programme will hnve to be
revised. The Far West Is calling with
an Insistent voice. Thero Is an especial
urgency In tho demands from tho Far
Northwest and the Pacific coast.
Some of tho flures at tho Chicago
headquarters have been contending that
tho candidate will not havo time for such
an extended tour. Their attention has
noen called to tho splendidly arranged
League of Nations tour taken by Presi
dent Wilson n year ago, and which wos
capablo of modification In point of time
and even of territory.
There are signs here that tho an
nouncement of tho National Committee
will bo hailed with groat satisfaction
over tho country. It Is interesting to
noto that In Marlon the prevailing opin
ion Is that the Senator should go out
among the people, so that the peoplo
could eee the kind of man he actually Is.
HARDING'S CITY TOUR

Walla Walm, Waah,, Sept. 10. In
creasingly bitter nttacka upon tho lto-
publlcnn leadership marked Oov. Cox'm
awing through tho Htnto of Washing
ton to-day In an eager attclnpt to turn
tho Jumbled political situation In hl
favor, Thn flat proposal waa put forth
that It Is time to consider n peniten
tiary sontenco for Will UI. Hnyx,
chairman of tho Republican National
Committee. Senator Hnrdlng was at
tacked becauso of hla sllcnco on the
scandal nbout Republican campaign
funds, and tho Itepubllcnn organiza
tion was accuaod of poisoning tho
mind of America with "malicious mis
Information" nbout tho League of Na
tions. 4
Gov. Cox devoted the day to stumping
through the eastern portion of the State,
travelling almost continuously. He mid)
a dosen speeches, chief of them that at
the Washington State Fair In Spokane,
Although the akles were overcast the
crowds were large nnd cheering, tho
State Fair speech, .non-polltlcnl and ad
dressed to first voters, nttractlng upward
of 10.000.
Ilrrnlla Iloss Tnecd
CSov. Cox aelred upon a statement by
John W. Weeks, formerly Senntor from
Massachusetts, that $15,000,000 con
trlbuted to the Itepubllcnn campaign
fund would bo a good Investment This
he used to elan at Chairman Hays.
"First Will H.M's nnd his associates
made broadcast denials," ho said. "Now
that they have bien caught with the
goods on them, tun policy to ba adopted
manifestly Is that which Senator Weeks
expresses,
"It will remind tho country of tho days
of Boss Tweed. When he was cnUght, he
said, 'What nr you going to do about
It?' The people answered by sending
him to tho penitentiary. Present symp
toms are pretty strongly suggesting tho
need of the same kind of remedy now.
"Certain Interests In America look
upon the Government of the ptoplo as a
business affair, puro nnd simple, nnd
they nro determined to control It. In
the face of obv'lous violation of law,
Hays, tho head of tho 'monoy diggers,'
Is stllhln charge.
"With scandal enveloping the affairs
of Republican headquarters, tho Prcsl
dentin! nominee Is sllont."
Much attention Gov. Cox paid to the
Lo.isuo of Nntlons, picturing It ns s
menns of preventing wars nnd reducing
tnxntlon, despite tho fact that vv ashing
Ion fears tho affiliation with foreign
countries means that American sover
tlgnty would bo surrendered. Ho turned
on the Republicans bitterly.
Argue llnrd for Lenirne,
"American public opinion has bein
poisoned with malicious misinforma
tion," he charged. "But you carit fool
the peoplo loi.g. Our opponents have
been saying that tho League of Nations
Is a 'British League.' and then In the
next breath they say It Is a 'Wilson
League.' Tho plain truth is that It Is
r.tllher a British Lengue nor a Wilson
Lcaguev The facts are history."
With this Gov. Cox entered a long dla.
cusslon of tin way In which the cove
nant was drafted, asserting that not
less than 50J minds hnd devoted them
selves to It in prollmlnnry preparation.
Then, he adled, a con-mitten of nine
teen representing fourteen different na.
tlons at thn Paris Peace Conference,
with Prot'dent Wilson us chairman,
new the enanl flu eald-
"After laboring for weeks they pub
llkhel a draft convention and invited
all the nations of the world, Including
tho neutral nations, to offer sugges

say that Mr. WHwn would not permit

'itn Investigation of Clov. Cox'a charge
regarding thn Republican riimpalgn
fund, nnd thon, over tho protest of Kd
Mooro, tho Oovornor'n envoy extraor
dinary, turned to a now phaao of the
Inquiry. The commltteo apparently
Infbnds (o find out Just how nctlvo are
tho "liquor Interesta" In behalf of
Cox nnd how much they nro contrib
uting, through tholr associations or
Individually, to hla Presidential cam
paign. Tho Honntora havo sat hero for eight,
days, with several nlrjht sessions, call
Inu witnesses on their own account
and thono suggested by Mr. Mooro.
They hnvo listened to nil Mr. Mooro
had to any under direct nnd cross ex
amination. They havo patiently ac
cepted all tho "leads" he has given to
thorn down to tho Inst telegram and
pink nowspaper clipping, and have
summoned from aa far awny aa Ari
zona tho man who Mr. Mooro said
could provo tho charges true. Tho
result Is that tho aovcrnor'a nccuaa
tlons havo fallen flat, from u Repub
lican standpoint, and wero hugely ox
atgorated, from any standpoint.
Now, although Mr., Mooro" was In
and out of tho witness ntand again
to-day, pouring moro tolegranta and
ci!pp!HW'K1?MadH" upon the commit
tto'a tablo on fftat na tho telegraph and
mnll messengers could fotch them to
him, tho Republican majority of tho
commltteo foels that tho country will
rtcosnlzo that Cox'a "case," audi as It
Id, In complete.
An Open Campaign Pound.
fienntors Edge and Spencer, Repub
licans, bellove, In fact, that Mr. Mooro
knew several days ago. that ho had shot
his bolt nnd merely wns trying to hold
the committee In session In the hopo that
something might turn up which ho could
sclio upon to turn to Gov. Cox's ac
count and counterbalance tho prepon
derating weight of evidence as to tho
decency and openness of tho Republican
campaign. Senators Kdgo and Spencor
havo been frankly Impatient. Senator
Kenyon, the other Republican, has held
to tho non-committal attitude of a chair
man. Ho has wanted to glvo Mr. Moore,
and Gov. Cox all the rope they called for
In order that no one anywhero might ray
that the Republican mombera of tho com
mltteo endeavored to prevent tho admis
sion of ovldence. ;
The two Democratic Senators, Heed
and romcrene, are for going on a little-'
further. If anything develops that war
rants It, the Republicans will acquiesce.
But tho commltteo expects to finish Its
hearings In Chlcngo to-morrow with tes
timony us to tho raising of $700,000 In
Chicago a seven days' "drive" now In
progTcas and with the testimony of two
young women Fedora! employees from
Aberdeen, S. 1).. who say the Democrats
asked them for contributions.
Mr. Mooro Bpent a restless half hour Ins
tho witness chair to-day whon Mr. Ken
yon and other Senators asked him about
rum, Including tho letter written by
George T. Carfoll, president of tho New
Jersey Association of Liquor Dealers, ac
claiming Cox's nomination us a "big
factor for our interests," nnd asking for
contributions. Although two subpoenas
havo been sent to Mr. Carroll he has not
appeared before tho committee, which
Intends to hear him or know tho reason
why when It meets In the East In ten
days or two weeks from now.
Mr. Mooro repudiated as unauthorized
a prospectus of the Association Opposed
to National Prohibitions naming htm at
one of tho managers for Ohio. Ho ad
mitted that he personally was a "wet,"
but insisted thnt the liquor men were
not contributing to Cox's campaign nnd
never had. By way of retort to this nnd
to Cox's assertion In New York a few
weeks ngo that tho liquor Interests had
never contributed to nny of his cam
paigns. Senator Kenyon Introduced a
sworn statement filed with the Secretary
of Stato of Ohio showing that the secre
tary of the Liquor License Leaguo ot
Ohio spent $1,400 In the Cox campaign
of 1916.
Uphnm ClnrlOea Figure.
Krcd H. Upham. Itepubllcnn national
treasurer, gave to the committee a clari
fying statement. Ho swore that when
the money to meet Its budget of 53.070,

tee would stop collecting. In all tho sum
that would pass through his hands waa
J4.S0O.OO0, divided roughly this way: For
tho National Committee, $3,079,000; for
tho State committees, $1,200,000; for tha
Senatorial committee. $200,000; for tho
Congressional committee, $400,000 Ho
admitted, as before, that ho had no con
trol over what the States might raise for
tholr own campaigns.
Mr Upham took full responsibility for
Form 101, nnd told of Its rejection by th
National Ways ana Means Committer
and of Us suppression. He said he wan
tho only man who made up quotas, nndj
